Usage

{{Diff4|diff|old=oldid|label|section=section name}}

• diff – The ID or keyword that is used against the base ID (required). Possible keywords are:

  cur – Compare with the current version of a page.

  prev – Compare with the previous version of a page.

  next – Compare with the next version of a page.

  id – This should be larger than oldid (when oldid is specified).

• |old=oldid

  oldid – The base ID onto which the diff is generated (optional). Parameter name |old= must be specified.

• label – Text to display as link (optional). No label will generate a numbered link as the label.
• |section=section name

  section name – The name of the section or anchor (optional) within the page intended to be the target of the link. Parameter name |section= must be specified.

Examples

Code	Output
{{Diff4|123456789}}	[2]
{{Diff4|123456789|An edit by User:Pgp688}}	An edit by User:Pgp688
{{Diff4|123456789|Same edit as above but links to "External links" section|section=External links}}	Same edit as above but links to "External links" section
{{Diff4|4611964|old=123456789|All changes at article leading up to Pgp688's edit}}	All changes at article leading up to Pgp688's edit

Unlike {{Diff2}}, this template does not automatically determine the user's intended target when diff and oldid are both specified. Be sure to use correct numbers. If the IDs belong to different pages, the link will not work.

See below:

Code	Output
{{diff4|123456788|old=123456789|Changes between revisions 123456788 and 123456789}}	Changes between revisions 123456788 and 123456789
